Sony is still trying to turn public perception of Paul Feig’s Ghostbusters after the release of a much-disliked first trailer, and these TV spots have definitely been getting better, as have the international trailers. So grab a friend (or find one) and check out some new footage.
Feel free to chime in below with how your childhood has been ruined and to inquire how much Sony paid me (jack sh*t) to write this. And what an amazing coincidence that — in the eight years I’ve been working here — I’ve only been accused of conspiratorially writing a sponsored post when I write about a movie with a female lead and I don’t already hate it before I’ve seen it. I don’t write sponsored content, and if I did it would always say “sponsored by” in the byline, because this isn’t some “lizard people on the dark side of the moon” conspiracy when someone doesn’t have the same pet hates.
Weird that women being cast as Ghostbusters seems to have "ruined" more childhoods than a beloved TV dad being a psychotic serial rapist.

I want the new Ghostbusters to be a blank frame for 5 minutes. Finally, McCarthy walks into frame. “You were the real monsters all along."

Anyway, Paul Feig recently tweeted an international poster for Ghostbusters, and — in a move that will surely enrage some — I am going to admit I kinda like it. I’ll go cash my fat nonexistent checks from Sony now and buy an invisible yacht to party on with my invisible manservants.
Totally digging our new #Ghostbusters international posters. This one's from Taiwan. This is so going on my wall. pic.twitter.com/RsLycqoo0N

These ‘busters will be in theaters on July 15th. You’ll get over it.
